EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A Soulak, plate 17 from Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant" takes us on a journey to the vibrant and diverse world of the Ottoman Empire in the early 18th century. Created by Jean Baptiste Vanmour and engraved by Claude du Bose in 1707-08, this coloured engraving showcases their exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and cultural nuances. The central figure depicted is A Soulak, an archer dressed in a magnificent oriental costume. His regal presence is enhanced by his plumed helmet and ornate headdress, symbolizing his status as a member of the Imperial guard. With his bow and arrow poised for action, he exudes both power and elegance. Vanmour's skillful use of color brings life to every element within this composition. The rich hues highlight not only A Soulak's attire but also the exotic landscape surrounding him – perhaps representing Istanbul itself. This fusion of Eastern fashion with European artistic techniques reflects the fascination with Orientalism that was prevalent during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – an homage to Charles de Ferriol's diplomatic mission as Louis XIV's ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Through Vanmour's masterful illustration, we gain insight into a world filled with royal splendor, armed warriors, and enchanting traditions that continue to captivate our imagination today.
